Barcelona, Spain
Where to eat near La Rambla
10 places within 15 minutes on foot of La Rambla. Start with El Quim de la Boqueria, 1 min walk: fried eggs with baby squid.
The trap to skip
The frozen paella and pitchers of sangria along La Rambla. Paella should be cooked to order, and Barceloneta or Poble Sec are where to find it.
